ICYMI: Saintseneca visits World Cafe

Columbus-based indie-folk quartet
Saintseneca debuted last week on World Cafe,
host David Dye's public-radio program for "essential and emerging artists."

Frontman Zac Little spoke with Dye about the band's latest album,
Dark Arc, which Little says "was maybe the first opportunity to really be as immersed in
the recording process as I would want to be."

The Appalachian Ohio native said that the writing process for this album was unique in part
because of the instrument he used to write them -- a bass guitar.

"I had this bass that had, you know, just barely survived a fire in my apartment," he said. "It
was all kind of, like, blistered and messed up, and I plugged it into this little guitar practice
amp with a little reverb on it, and all of a sudden I just started writing all these songs, just
one after another.

"It was like they were just waiting."
